That would be crazy expensive. Imagine a server for you and that one mission. You would need 30 servers plus other activity for one person each. That's insane. That would cost more than the amount of what they made in the beginning.

  • That's not how it works. One server would be able to handle a multitude of games. Besides, they only really need it for PvP.

  • If one server held up a multitude of games, the amount of packaged data flowing would overflow the system creating a DDOS in it's own system. You would have more lag in the game because of other games overflowing the server. We don't need dedicated servers, I fact it would make it worse for both company and player. What bungie does need to do is fix the bugs in their current system such as packet loss.

  • I can't tell you how wrong you are. In your line of thinking, MMO games like wow would need thousands of servers running for their playerbase. It doesn't work like that. All of the games I've played PvP on that were P2P had worse lag and were hacked/cheated in regularly compared to dedicated servers. It kept most people honest as it's just too easy to cheat on P2P.

  • There are 230 realms. Each realm covers a certain area where dozens of servers are hosted. And that's just the United States. There maybe more than thousands of physical servers in wow. Both dedicated and non can be hacked easily. Cheating is not argument to go by. Both have their own flaws and greatness, but it depends on how it is being used. Destiny needs peer because the amount of problems dedicated servers would bring up in their situation would be grand. If you need maintenance you would have to shut down all the servers and wait for a longer reboot time. Aswell as the servers can crash and cause more problems. If one person internet acts up it's just that one person and not thousands.

  • At one point, wow did have about 20 thousand servers. For millions of players. Millions. Destiny doesn't have that kind of players based. Besides, I'm just talking for PvP which would reduce the need for a large amount of servers. I don't see what the issue is. Don't really care right now anyway. Got my preorder cancelled for ttk and sitting on the sidelines until I feel Destiny is worth my money again. That probably isn't going to happen before battlefront, fallout and other games come out so doubt I'll be back regardless. /shrug

  • Whatever. Maybe you should go to work for bungie as you seem to have everything figured out for them? Obviously your far more qualified than anyone they have working for them. I've probably been playing games longer than you've been alive. Could be I'm your daddy, so you should watch how you talk to me son.

  • Some people (most) on these forums only understand idiocy. If I'm attacked, I'll retaliate. If people want to have a legit debate, I'd prefer it but normally it doesn't go that way here.

  • I do agree with your statements. The cost of dedicated servers would be marginal compared to the amount they milk out of us via dlc
